OUR SERVICES
We diagnose and manage a wide range of central and peripheral nervous system conditions. Our practice is affiliated with Piedmont Hospital and the Piedmont Clinic.
Electroencephalograms (EEG),
An EEG is a test that detects abnormalities in your brain waves, or in the electrical activity of your brain. During the procedure, electrodes consisting of small metal discs with thin wires are pasted onto your scalp. The electrodes detect tiny electrical charges that result from the activity of your brain cells.
Electromyography (EMG)
Electromyography (EMG) measures muscle response or electrical activity in response to a nerve's stimulation of the muscle. The test is used to help detect neuromuscular abnormalities. During the test, one or more small needles (also called electrodes) are inserted through the skin into the muscle.
Nerve Conduction Studies (NCV)
A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test — also called a nerve conduction study (NCS) — measures how fast an electrical impulse moves through your nerve. NCV can identify nerve damage. During the test, your nerve is stimulated, usually with electrode patches attached to your skin.
Evoked Potentials and Autonomic Nervous System Testing
Evoked potentials studies involve three major tests that measure response to visual, auditory and
